Entire Jersey Shore Cast to Be Replaced for Third Season

The Jersey Shore's casting director, Doron Ofir, tells Blackbook magazine that the entire cast will be replaced for the third season. (Among the shows Ofir has cast: A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila, Paris Hilton's My New BFF, RuPaul's Drag Race and Millionaire Matchmaker.)

A rep for MTV denies Ofir's statement, and tells UsMagazine.com, "We have started general casting for Jersey Shore Season 2 in case we want to explore the option of bringing on new cast members."

Snooki, The Situation, JWOWW, Pauly D, Sammi and Ronnie reportedly demanded a big pay raise after the first season became MTV's highest-rated series. TMZ.com reported the group received a $10,000 signing bonus and $5,000 per episode for season 2, which premieres July 29.

"She doesn't want to be on the show anymore," a source told Us Weekly. The problem? Her castmates. "She isn't friends with them," the insider says. (Another source counters, "She and Snooki are really close.")
